Bolivians express affection with warmth and respect. “Mi vida” (my life) and “corazón” (heart) are popular terms of endearment. The Quechua influence adds words like “munay” (beloved) in some regions. Diminutives are common, like adding “-ito/a” to names. Physical expressions include a single kiss on the cheek for greetings among friends and family.
